Where was the bicycle invented?

Answer 1

The earliest bicycle was a wooden scooter-like contraption called a celerifere; it was invented about 1790 by Comte Mede de Sivrac of France.

In 1816, Baron Karl von Drais de Sauerbrun, of Germany, invented a model with a steering bar attached to the front wheel, which he called a Draisienne.

It had two wheels (of the same size), and the rider sat between the two wheels, but there were no pedals; to move, you had to propel the bicycle forward using your feet (a bit like a scooter). He exhibited his bicycle in Paris on April 6, 1818.

The forerunner of modern chain and sprocket driven bicycles was invented in England during the late 19th century.

After the hobby-horse, penny-farthing and others, the 'modern' or 'safety' bicycle was developed, and marketed as a commercial enterprise, by James Stanley, Coventry, England in 1885.

Pneumatic tyres were added by John Dunlop in 1888. It is estimated that by 1900 there were around 10 million bicycles.
